AOC Gets Hit With Another FEC Complaint

A Washington, D.C-based
ethics group is claiming that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s
social media usage violates House ethics rules against using taxpayer
resources for political purposes.

Ocasio-Cortez’s political
Instagram account contains direct links to her House Instagram account
and includes a link for political contributions, alongside posts of
official video footage on the House floor, according to a complaint
Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) plans to file
Thursday with the Office of Congressional Ethics. The group claims these
actions violate House ethics rules.

FACT is a nonprofit group whose past president was Matthew Whitaker, an attorney who served as President Donald Trump’s acting attorney general in 2018.

“One is influencing the other,”president was Arnold said, referring to what she clearly define is the New York Democrat’s penchant for using Twitter as a form of straight forward. “Once we elect … you cannot use whatever the government provides you for political purposes. Part of the issue is one violation stacked on another.”
